12/27 - Digital Daredevil

Some additions to the ComiXology store/Marvel app for DAREDEVIL, as issues #508-512 have been made available. This only leaves #20-25 left for Volume 2,
but I get the sneaking suspicion we may not be seeing #20-25 for a long time, considering it's never been collected.
Hopefully they can start working on getting more issues of Volume 1 on there.

12/26 - DAREDEVIL 21 2nd Printing

DAREDEVIL #21 comes out December 19th, and if you've read it, you know why the final few pages have brought some attention to the book.
Because of this special appearance, Marvel will be reprinting issue #21. At this time it hasn't been officially announced by Marvel, but you can use code NOV128142 to order it from your store. It will ship January 30th, 2013. So, if you can't find a copy, you're in luck.

and his entire world.

12/10 - Interview with Klaus Janson

and what it's like to work on a Daredevil book again. He also gives his views on DD's supporting cast and if the series should be considered as canon.

12/08 - Steve Wacker Answers Questions

DAREDEVIL editor Steve Wacker dropped by CBR and answered several questions related to all the titles he works on, and there was a sneak peek of the cover to DAREDEVIL #24 by Chris Samnee. Some DD-related questions he answered include:

"My question is about Daredevil, I was wondering if we would see the character's old rogues come back in the near future. I miss the Owl, Typhoid Mary, Bullseye and the like. I love the what Waid is doing with the book, but I still kinda miss some of the old stuff."

"Are there any plans to do something exciting with Stilt-Man in Daredevil any time soon?"

"I'm really enjoying Daredevil and was wondering.Will Matt ever talk to Natasha, Elektra, Maya, or Dakota again? He came back to the city and we aren't sure if these characters are aware that Matt is back, nor do we know their reactions."

"Also is there a possibility of ever seeing Cap in DD's story again? Last time we saw the two Cap wanted to bring Matt in after the Shadowland incident (#2) will we ever see that continuance?"
